My goodness, that was tense. Playing under the pressure of the clock with seconds left was remarkable. Valiant effort by Koneru who never gave and made her opponent work very hard. But full respect to Alexandra for this win!

Alexandra Kosteniuk! One of the best female chess players of all time!! Bravo!🙌

Very difficult to checkmate with knight and bishop in blitz game! Brava to Alexandra!

What is indeed difficult in a B+N mating sequence is to drive the King to the corner with opposite colour of our Bishop. This is what happens at 19:13. Ng6 - key movement. After that, it is just following the same recipe, as you can see Alexandra playing faster and confident.

One of the most amazing games i have ever watched. This was the closest u can get to chess boxing but otb.

I have a profound sense of respect for those who can mate with a knight and a bishop. 🙏

it is more respectful when we have two knights and opponent pawn is on 6th rank

12:56 playing Qb4 black could have claimed draw by threefold repetition.

Do you happen to have the game played between Murzin and Nepomniachtchi? The kid literally crushed him

I want the world champion to show me a bishop and knight mate..😅

Wow the game lasted 20 minutes thnx cb india for uploading

@18:55 It is a curious thing to see Alexandra used the deep concentration breathing ala demon slayer.

What I love about blitz games is that blunders have limited impact on the outcome of the game 😂❤

Триллер! :)

Bishop knight checkmate is not as difficult as it seems. Because there is a pattern for this and you can practice and be so good at it. The most difficult one is Rook vs Queen checkmate. If the opponent plays accurately, it is very difficult to prove as there is no any 'pattern' for the checkmate.
